LUIS RUIZ

Houston Immigration Lawyer

Attorney Luis Ruiz was born in Jalisco, Mexico but, in search of the “American Dream”, his family immigrated to the United States when he was only 2 years old. Mr. Ruiz grew up in Baytown, TX as an undocumented person living in the shadows. Despite being undocumented, he continued his education and in 2010 he graduated from the University of Houston with a bachelor’s degree in political science, in 2014 Mr. Ruiz graduated from the University of Houston Law Center, and in November of 2014 he was licensed by The Supreme Court of Texas to practice law. Mr. Ruiz was undocumented until he was a sophomore in college. 

Having been undocumented, Mr. Ruiz knows firsthand the struggles that undocumented people face in this country. He chose to practice immigration law so that he would be able to help his own community, he wanted to bring quality legal representation to people like him, to people like his mother, who gave everything up in her home country just so that Mr. Ruiz could have a chance at a better life. Immigration is such a traumatizing experience, undocumented people leave their entire lives and families behind in search of just a chance, a hope that the American Dream is achievable to them, too.

Attorney Ruiz practices immigration law exclusively. He focuses on family-based immigration cases (I-130’s, Adjustment of Status, Consular Process) such as parents, siblings, and children petitioning for each other, self-petitions (VAWA, U-VISA) such as domestic violence survivors and crime victims applying for legal status based on the abuse they have suffered, waivers (I-601’s, I-601A’s, I-212’s), citizenship (N-400’s, N-600’s), and removal defense cases.
